Infernal Master. Probably need to think of a couple of conversations as I might field more than one. Primed a Rhino at the same time, sadly didn't go as well. I think Sigvald Burgundy is just a bit difficult on flat areas, very streaky. Might airbrushing it on help? Or just make it uneven differently?

My first miniature in approximately 30 years. Absolutely poo poo at taking a good picture just yet. He has wings as well, but the pictures I took of it with the wings are worse than this one. Still, I'm not mad at it!

WIP for the Weirdboy I decided to make for fun:   The pipes didn’t quite get finished but it’s because I slipped with my knife and got cut deeply, so I decided it was good enough

Crosspost from the BattleTech thread. Painted up a binary of the Steel Wolves   I didn't think they warranted a full trinary.  My phone continues to do interesting things with colors. They're a reddish brown but the phone makes them look blood red. At least it didn't kill the jump jet effects.

need some weathering/painting advice for a sandy desert scheme. i'm starting on a some necrons and i want them to be sandy and to use a nice green metallic paint i've got. i've never tried to do sandy weathering before. I've put some homemade texture paint on them to give them an old rougher look, but I'm not sure how to proceed. My current plan is to basecoat red-brown over my glossy black primer then try out applying the green metallic in layers with a sponge (cause that looks fun) then hit the whole thing with a pale sandy/tan oil wash to get the crevices and remove it with turpentine. alternately i have a dark metallic blue i could use as a basecoat but i figure the reddy-brown will make a nice contrast with the green. does anyone have any experience painting sandy/desert weathered schemes? I'm not sure how the pale oilwash will come out since I usually use a darker shade to oil wash not a brighter one. the temptation is just to finish with streaking grime and do red earth instead but I've done that before and do wanna try out a sandy look this time. e: some pics of the general scheme idea. i think i might prefer the simpler scheme but if anyone has advice on other colours to add that'd be nice too

Get some pigment powder* and work that in to crevices and all over the lower part of the figures. * you can scrape pastels with the back of your hobby knife to make really cheap powders in however many colors the box you

Taking a break from my regular paint job for a bit, got some bits printed for a squad of Raptors with the old jump packs and did the test model up as a Night Lord to see how it looks. I like it, I think I'll do a full squad of 10. Got a little lazy on the lightning, but I was more concerned on seeing how the blue came out and how I like the red hands.

    Just finished up my Saboteur. She has one of my Jackal's heads instead of her regular one, her blast goggles are in place for a detonation. Lot happier with my Hybrid skintone this time and got to practice some Chitin too. She's a cool model but then again so are like 99% of the rest of the cult. I have a Kelermorph cleaned and ready to prime but I'm actually going to build a vehicle next because these boxes are loving big

I painted a Howling Griffon for a contest my FLGS is running. I should make a Kill Team, I love these guys so much. He's a little shiny, I should hit him with some varnish.

I was having some frustrations with a project I was working on so I decided to paint a model I bought on ebay, an original chaos dwarf warrior. I made some mistakes and didn't even try on the eyes but I'm happy with it.

Never not drill barrels. This can be difficult when you're making scatter terrain, but sometimes sacrifices must be made.

After a bit of a break I've managed to finish some minis. A Supa-Stompa/Gargant for Epic, model by Vanguard.  Plus a handful of Vostroyans for my combat patrol      Plus a WIP shot of the Vostroyan Bombast I'm converting for the aforementioned combat patrol  Nothing glued down yet, everything will be painted in subassemblies too. Next step is sculpting though.

Sounding the Little Guy alert.  I got a pair of Hunters as compensation for needing to request replacements on some 3D prints, and they've been languishing primed on a shelf for a good 6 months. I'm trying to get back into painting with a healthier view on it, so I picked one of them and set a goal - one session start to finish, embrace any minor mistakes along the way, fix them if they're big and ugly. Hour and a half later (which is like... half of what a mini usually takes me, and a good third of which was just doing six or seven coats of Thunderhawk Blue to try and get it even), one of them's done minus varnish. There are obvious faults I can see that I'm doing my best to accept, but more important, it's a finished model to a decent standard, which is what I need more of in my life. I'm probably not repeating this scheme on the other Hunter because of what a pain Thunderhawk Blue was, but it was informative since I did have other minis planned with this combo that I now know to adjust. Unfortunately it seems like my detail brush went to hell in storage somehow, 8404 that will barely even hold a point without fraying now. Not looking forward to needing another replacement for it so soon. But, realities of the hobby I guess.

Even if it was super anticlimactic with the Chorf sorcerer soloing halve the Dwarf army with Curse of Years. I'm guessing original chorfs go for big bucks on ebay these days?
